Juventus are considering moves to sign Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof on free transfers this summer.
Partey and Lindelof are each out of contract at the end of the campaign and emerging as players of interest to Juventus.
The Italian side have a long-standing interest in Partey, who was an important part of Arsenal’s run to the Champions League semi-finals this season.

Partey has made 49 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season, the most he has managed in a single campaign during his five seasons with the Gunners. Arsenal want to re-sign the Ghana international to a new deal but no agreement has been reached. Arsenal have also reached an agreement to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad to boost their midfield options. The Spaniard will join the Gunners in a €60m deal.
Lindelof is set to leave Manchester United when his contract expires. The Swedish centre-back has made just four league starts this season, following the arrivals of Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro last summer.
Calciomercato claim Juventus are weighing up a proposal for the 30-year-old, who has made 281 appearances since joining Manchester United from Benfica in 2017.
Juventus confirm permanent Lloyd Kelly transfer
Juventus have also confirmed that the obligation to buy clause for Newcastle United defender Lloyd Kelly has now been activated.
Kelly joined Juventus on loan in January, just six months after his free transfer move to Newcastle. Juventus have now completed the €17.5m deal to sign the 26-year-old, who has made 13 appearances since his mid-season move to Turin.
